now that shaft had been mentioned. Madoka got the whole persona dungeons atmosphere and even the boss fight in it.

persona 4 thread sure is pumped up.

For the social links. The main characters are a must. Plus the father and daughter and maybe a cameo or a bit on school social links. Outside of school is... well less likely. A bit of cameo here and there are nice. But the events that happens at night and only once a week is hard to show. Even though the story itself behind a specific social link is also nice.

In regards to the bold, what else can they possibly do? Given the amount of persona in P4, it'd be extremely difficult to pick and choose which ones to use for the anime - so using one would probably be the simplest option (if the script-writers were massive slackers )

However, the MC would not be all that special anymore, what with the removal of his wildcard ability.

They could pick the most popular and/or coolest personas. There are quite a few that stand out from the crowd (Mara! ) and that I'd love to see animated. Futhermore, if the MC can't use several personas anymore... then which role will Igor play? Will they cut out such an iconic character from the anime?

It'll probably do what it does in the manga, where he summons random persona fitting for the level he's on. Igor will probably still have a role, but it'll be relegated to being the foreshadowing guy/observer/etc.

I can't believe this. Seriously, who's producing this? I bet it is Toba, or it cannot be this bad. Kishi Seiji is a director? He is one of the worst original destroyer + horri horri bad directing in AB. Subpar AIC derived studio? It is better you guys give up first, and hope for miracle. That will make you guys feel better before being disappointed.

Shut up.

We don't know anything until it airs, just like with every show every season ever. It is impossible to make judgments until airing begins, and unfair to make judgments until it's over.

I think they're going with AIC as Atlus has a lot of experience with them. AIC animated everything from P3, P4 and, of course, Trinity Soul. So I think it's pretty natural to go with them.

No, that was A-1 Pictures, which is Aniplex's own studio.

Seiji Kishi was probably selected because of his experience on Aniplex's Angel Beats! (which had both action and dramatic scenes, and was designed to be RPG-like) - it's just easier to go with someone you're already working with.

Kishi has also done a lot of work with AIC, so it's not entirely surprising that their name would come up as a potential studio. You'd think that A-1 would be a natural choice, but scheduling doesn't always make these things possible.

I'm interested in seeing in how they'll handle this adaptation. I wonder if they'll keep the Social Links, or if they'll only adapt the ones that feature characters relevant to the main plot. I'm quite fond of the game and its characters so hopefully it'll turn out good.

Finally! and it seems they learned from the P3 train-wreck, and go for the original game

At least it's AIC. The cutscenes in the game were terrible, and I have confidence in their animation after SnO.

Well, there was an undubbed version floating around, since the dubbing was attrocious, and if it wasn't for that hack, I would have dropped the game

The probability this getting butchered is now above 50%.

AIC Asta as animation goes, is not bad or anything. The first problem I see though is the director, Kishi Seiji:

Angel Beats was all over the place, mainly because of the corny tale, and horrible pacing (a Key trademark), but also because it was his job to hide it with clever scene placement, and tweaking... which he absolutely did not.

Seto no Hanayome not as bad, but still way inferior to the manga.

Magikano, well my memory is fuzzy, but the only thing I can remember is that it had panty-shots

Well, as long as the have someone competent handling the series composition, the director can not do too much harm... but that's a very big if.

Why would they change the name and seiyuu for Souji...? From what I've heard, his voice in the drama cd is already pretty cool

Oh well, who cares I'm just glad to see this one animated

Now I wonder what would happen with the social link's scene...I just hope that they won't forget about it and also put it in the story ;( I think they're quite important because of that last scene when you fight the last boss.

Another interesting point might be that they might switch MC to only keeping a single Persona, Izanagi. I'm not sure if this would be a good idea.

If I don't get my animated Metatron, someone's going to get a Megidoladyne up their rear end (yeah, I'm biased, what about it? )

Pfft, Izanagi's design was awesome enough that I fused him with awesome skills and leveled him to the 90s, despite the amount of work that took! (Plus Izanagi's stats are pretty much on par as the other party member's Persona upgrades when at the same level, which I thought was cool).
